Cover with blankets, sheets, duvets, camo-nets, cardboard triangles etc to create a great little outside den. Uses fewer hubs and sticks and is a great entry-point into hubs, and a fun family project.
What's included:
- 7x 6-way hubs
- 6x 5-way hubs
- 76x ball connectors
- 76x wood screws
- All metal work to clamp-up the hubs
- 6x stainless steel base feet with galvanised ground anchors
- 30x 4ft broom handles
- 3m x 3m camo-net (Forest or White)
- Build instructions
Recommended stick lengths:
Short: 730mm (x6)
Long: 840mm (x24)
This creates a hexagon footprint approx 1.5m in diameter with a maximum height in the middle of about 1.2m. The 3m x 3m camo-net will cover this size nicely.
If you want to make it bigger or smaller, increase or decrease the lengths proportionately.
Instructions:
- Start with a 6-way hub.
- Connect six Shorts into the 6-way hub.
- Connect 5-ways on to the ends of the Shorts.
- Connect the 5-ways together with a ring of six Longs.
- Connect two Longs into the remaining free sockets in the 5-way hubs.
- Draw the Longs together into a triangle.
- Connect them together with 6-way hubs.
- Connect the 6-ways together with a ring of six Longs.
- Attach the base feet and anchor to the ground.
- YURT DEN DONE!
Note:
If you want to source your own cover, select the 'Without camo-net' option.
Comes with 4ft broom handles which you cut to the size, see guidance above.
Pre-drilling a 2-3mm pilot hole for the wood screws is recommended to prevent splitting.
If the dome will be outside for any length of time, it's a good idea to treat the wood with an exterior varnish / paint or oil.
